Agreed, how easy would it be to build / prepare some sort of defense capbilities / infrastructre near borders with Russia. Make sure there are trenches, near the border with Russia, so if they DO try and invade, the people can ensure they are faced with a deadly if not brutal response.
A trench could be dug, on the pretext it will be used to bury cables, these can then be buried in such a way they can be exposed quickly, defences put up, and can be filled with troops at very short notice.

"Because of Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine, I believe EU Member States will really need to increase their defence expenditures and refill our stocks", says @skyttedal MEP.

There is no harm in suggesting a better source of information or asking people to provide clarity so we can help them further.

:) no problem, not sure if we can capitalise on that error.

Why should we insist on free software in education? "[B]ecause it is the only software that allows them to accomplish their essential missions: to disseminate human knowledge and to prepare students to be good members of their community." Read more: https://u.fsf.org/1dz

I usually store no more than 500 pounds of acorns in my walls. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/02/07/acorns-woodpeckers-california-house/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F390f70d%2F63e288ed1b79c61f8780b356%2F597a036fade4e26514cb5fd8%2F31%2F70%2F63e288ed1b79c61f8780b356&wp_cu=3d56aa15dc961cafd4f9d95a244b76e4%7C23b1ae6a-e88e-11df-bd09-12313b066011

If I say I was driving back from Tijuana Mexico, and Mexican please pull me over and took $1,000 from me, you will say "Mexican police are corrupt!" and maybe follow up with some racist statements.
But if a Black US driver is driving in Florida, police can just take $10,000 from her in broad daylight, without even bothering to accuse her of a crime.
It is very risky for poor Black folk to do any cash based transaction in the US. Not because they might get robbed by criminals, but by the cops.

Big tech is out here trying to convince me to spend thousands on a new tablet, meanwhile I'm budgeting for an orange computer from before Y2K.

FAA approves test of the largest hydrogen-powered airplane to fly
The FAA “granted California-based Universal Hydrogen clearance to proceed with a first flight of its hydrogen-powered Dash-8-300 test airplane”
They will test “the powertrain that converts the hydrogen to electricity and turns the propellers.”
“One propeller is powered by that, the other by regular jet fuel.”

If people, who are (or seem) incapable of undertaking a little research, they may find we reciprocate in a way that suggests they should at least read something first or provide evidence to their statement. So rather than being elitist, we are trying to help, if they can't then think and adapt, then they are less welcome.
if someone posts something that is say anti-vaccine, or anti science and you they be either ignored or asked to provide evidence. If people ask a question and the science source is just wrong, we can help them find a better source,
Important skills for 2023 and beyond will be critical thinking and adaptability.

Yes, the Fediverse should be for everyone.
It should not exist as a country club for nerds.
If I was that entity I would not be very happy about how Humans are wrecking the earth.
Looks like this is covered in the First amendment
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution
in so far that this does not appear to be a denial of free speech
"Although the First Amendment applies only to state actors,[1] there is a common misconception that it prohibits anyone from limiting free speech, including private, non-governmental entities.[2] Moreover, the Supreme Court has determined that protection of speech is not absolute.[3]"
How protected are foreign visitors to the US and esp Florida and other states enacting similar laws, ?

The bill's sponsor, on his creation:
"When asked in an interview with The Star if the bill would be broad enough to prohibit LGBTQ teachers from discussing spouses and potentially ban certain books, Moon indicated it might.
'Gender identity and sexual orientation conversations would be prohibited. If they think that would be included, then it likely will be,' Moon said."

Once again, the tech world talks up the Chat AI revolution like it's vital to most of us, as opposed to the monied interests lining up to exploit a next big thing. Even when it's pretty obvious that the big thing is likely to be another shaft rammed up humanity's ass.

When I was taught at school and in my early working life to check over my work before I submitted it, I thought it was to catch any mistakes I had made.
Now it's to catch any mistakes and changes autocorrect has made behind my back after I've typed everything correctly.
